In this recipe, I will detail each step, providing you with practical tips to achieve a delicious pie that will impress family and friends. Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 50-60 minutes Total time: 1 hour and 20 minutes Number of servings: 12 ### Ingredients For the dough: - 650 g flour - 200 ml yogurt - 100 g oil - 400 g sugar - 1 packet baking powder - ½ teaspoon salt - 2 packets vanilla sugar - Grated zest of one lemon and one orange For the filling: - 2 kg pumpkin (preferably pie pumpkin) - 200 g sugar - 100 g butter - A pinch of salt - 1 packet vanilla - Juice of half a lemon ### Step by Step 1. Preparing the filling: Start by peeling the pumpkin of seeds and skin. Use a large grater to grate it. In a pot, mix the grated pumpkin with sugar, butter, and salt. A useful tip here is not to add water, as the pumpkin will release enough juice during cooking. Place the pot over medium heat and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. When the juice has completely evaporated, add the lemon juice and remove from heat. Let the filling cool to blend the flavors. 2. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder. In another container, combine the yogurt, oil, sugar, salt, vanilla sugar, and lemon and orange zest. Mix well for 3-4 minutes until the ingredients are homogenized. Gradually add the flour mixture, first mixing with a spoon and then kneading by hand until you obtain an elastic dough. 3. Forming the pie: Divide the dough into two equal parts. Roll out the first sheet of dough on a floured surface so that it is large enough to cover the pan (usually 30x40 cm). Place the sheet in the ungreased pan, press lightly, and prick with a fork here and there. Add the pumpkin filling, distributing it evenly. 4. Baking: Roll out the second sheet of dough and place it over the filling. Press lightly to stick and prick again with a fork. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius and bake the pie for 50-60 minutes until golden and browned. 5. Serving: Once the pie has cooled, cut it into pieces and sprinkle powdered sugar on top and optionally a dash of cinnamon for extra flavor. This dessert is delicious both warm and cold and can be served with a dollop of sour cream or vanilla ice cream for a savory contrast. ### Useful tips: - Choose sweet and floury pumpkins to achieve a delicious filling. Hokkaido or Butternut squash are excellent options. - If you want to add a touch of originality, you can incorporate chopped nuts or hazelnuts into the filling for added texture. - This recipe can be adapted to use other types of fillings, such as caramelized apples or pears, to diversify the dessert. Pumpkin pie is a simple and quick dessert, perfect for celebrating the fall season. With a flaky crust and flavorful filling, it is a treat you should not miss. Enjoy!
